byHannah MorganonMarch 24, 2013

I love sharing great content- not mine, but the articles written by others! Each Sunday I share a selected few of the many articles I’ve read during the week. I hope there is something here that works for you!

10 Tips for Networking Rehabilitationfrom Social-Hire by Kim Monaghan1. Ask lots of questions. Help guide the process by coming prepared with targeted questions that keep you both on track and on time.

2. Be a good listener. People love sharing their story and it’s a great way to learn from other’s experience and expertise.

3. Shoot for face-to-face. An in person meeting is more personal, expressive and demonstrates respect for another’s position.

4. Be your best. Show your strengths, but not in a domineering way. People enjoy connecting with others who are “going places” with purpose and pride.

5. Be at your best. Dress for success, be kind and gracious and treat the other person as if they have the authority to hire or promote. They just might.

Embarking on a job search is like preparing to climb a mountain. Maybe not Mt. Everest, where sherpas are found, but you will still need a guide to show you the best paths and methods for making the trek. The terrain can be tricky and unfamiliar so you will want someone to show you the way.

So if you are ready to prepare for your adventure and you need some help, you’ve come to the right place.
